Remote Mob Programming In a High Stakes Environment
summary
Remote mob programming actually builds a working, secure web gateway for COVID support in about three weeks deadline with a distributed team across five countries and three time zones, using Zoom/Teams/Slack, JetBrains Code With Me, Tuple and occasional mob dot sh, deploying on AWS with Terraform and Lambdas. The process enforces trunk‑based development, heavy automation and TDD, rotating keyboard etiquette, and collective ownership. Outcome: delivered on time with zero known bugs in production, after a couple of overtime weekends and last‑minute penetration‑test fixes.
